The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex scaffold of proteins that supports multicellular structures. Interactions between cells and the ECM via receptors, like integrins, govern cellular phenotypes (e.g., proliferation, adhesion), but also contribute to ECM assembly. Understanding how ECM-receptor interactions regulate matrix assembly is critical to uncover how alterations of the ECM cause or accompany congenital diseases, cancer, or fibrosis. SNED1 is a novel ECM protein with roles in development and metastasis. However, the mechanisms governing its assembly and signaling functions remain largely unknown. SNED1 contains two integrin-binding motifs, RGD and LDV, and we recently showed that its interaction with RGD-integrins mediates cell adhesion. Here, we investigated the role of SNED1/integrin interactions in SNED1 ECM assembly. While SNED1/integrin interactions were not necessary for its initial incorporation in the ECM, interaction with LDV-, but not RGD-, integrins, was required for ECM build-up and the patterning of SNED1 and the fibrillar proteins fibronectin and collagen I. Moreover, SNED1/LDV-integrin interaction promoted ECM alignment, cell alignment, and cell proliferation, processes essential to SNED1-driven neural crest cell migration during craniofacial development and breast cancer invasion.
